The 40-second video was shared on social media on 5 February. Since going viral, people have been praising the swift action of the security personnel who saved the man’s life. The short clip has been viewed more than 15,000 times and counting.

This is not the first time when such an accident has occurred. Last year, several such cases were recorded where railway personnel had rescued passengers falling on railway tracks.

In one such instance, a CISF constable made headlines and won hearts for performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on a man who suddenly collapsed at one of the Metro stations in the national capital.
